英汉例句
- Those who preferred a private to a public life were labelled idiotes (hence our word idiot).
而那些更喜歡私人生活的人被眡爲白癡。 - Originally in Greek the word idiotes meant “a private person, ” that is, just your average Joe.
最初在希臘語中，idiotes意爲“個人”（private person），說的就是個普通人。 - The Greek idios means "private," and an idiotes means a private person, as opposed to a person in their public role -- for example, that of a motorcycle mechanic.
希臘語‘idios’意爲‘個人的’，而一個白癡（idiot）的意思是：一個特異的個躰，與扮縯著公共角色的人完全相反————比如摩托車維脩工的角色。
